In „tired of california“ denkt Nessa über den giftigen Lebensstil im Golden State nach und sehnt sich danach, ihn zu verlassen. Der Refrain interpoliert eine beliebte Melodie aus Suzanne Vegas „Tom’s Diner“. In einem TikTok-Kommentar fügte sie außerdem hinzu, dass der Song nur der Unterhaltung dient:
Ich liebe LA. Ich verspreche, ich würde nirgendwo anders leben. Dies ist nur ein Song.
Nessa Barrett
Der Song wurde bereits mehrfach angeteasert, zuerst auf Instagram am 17. Februar 2022. Der Teaser zeigte Kinder, die Hintergrundgesang für die Bridge aufnahmen, passend zum Thema der Zeile „Can I be young forever?“
I’m so tired of California, I’m so tired of LA
Where the real thing comes as often as the California rain
I get sick of sunshine on my perfect skin
Vapid conversation giving me head-spins
Driving down Mulholland, closing both my eyes
‚Cause they say you get more famous when you die
And everyone seems fine
Am I losing my mind?
I’m so tired of California, I’m so tired of LA
Where the real thing comes as often as the California rain
I got all these legal toxins in my blood and in my brain
I keep saying that I’m leaving, but it doesn’t work that way
I can’t feel my hеartbeat way up in the Hills
Burning down my mansion, didn’t write a will
Front row at my funеral, crocodile tears
Came here for the weekend, but I haven’t left in years
I’m so tired of California, I’m so tired of LA
Where the real thing comes as often as the California rain
I got all these legal toxins in my blood and in my brain
I keep saying that I’m leaving, but it doesn’t work that way
Can I be young forever?
Would it be fun forever?
Can I be young forever?
Would it be fun forever?
We’re so tired of California, we’re so tired of LA
Where the real thing comes as often as the California rain
We got all these legal toxins in our blood and in our brain
We keep saying that we’re leaving, but it doesn’t work that way
I’m so tired of California, I’m so tired of LA
Where the real thing comes as often as the California rain
I got all these legal toxins in my blood and in my brain
I keep saying that I’m leaving, but it doesn’t work that way
